President Muhammadu Buhari has welcomed the proposal for a security summit between members of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and countries in Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, in a statement, said the President made his position known when he received ECOWAS Chairman and President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbe, in Katsina, on Friday.
The security summit is billed to hold on July 30.
According to President Buhari, terrorism now transcends international boundaries, and no country can combat the scourge alone.
He said: “We need to team up to fight common enemies. Terrorists in whatever form are enemies of humanity, and no effort must be spared to protect our people.
“I will always support anything that is meant to enhance security in our region.’’
